Description
Filipe de Magalhães was perhaps the most celebrated Portuguese composer of his day.
Idiomatic performances from Cupertinos—'true ambassadors of Portuguese polyphony'— will go a long way towards justifying that reputation to a modern audience.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM:
"This is one of the most satisfying of Cupertinos's programmes, the Missa Veni Domine bright and outgoing, the Missa Veni Dominus more subdued and veiled, and the Magnificat a lively foil to both. […] they carry on as they began, with polish and dedication and fresh enough a sound to carry the day." – Gramophone
PEDRO DE CRISTO (c1550-1618) CDA68393
Magnificat, Marian Antiphons & Missa Salve regina
"It is a deep pleasure to hear this ensemble flourish....I'm now quite bewitched by this glorious Iberian sound world."
-Gramophone Magazine
DUARTE LOBI (c1565-1646) CDA68306
Masses, Responsories & motets
"For aficionados of Golden Age polyphony, this is all self-recommending" - Gramophone Magazine
"Throughout, the ensemble's candid, unwavering sound, chisselled diction and incisive articulation reveal Lobo's masterly contrapuntal writing." - BBC Music Magazine
